Here are several.
Croatia (and Slovenia) had been under foreign rulers for centuries. After WW1 they finally managed to get independence but for a very short time and then forced (because of Secret London contract from WW1 between Italy and UK) to join with Serbs.
Serbs wanted to be the main nation and to mix with Croats and Slovenians who were minority. Finally, following global changes (fall of Berlin Wall, killing dictators in Romania, colaps of Soviet Union) Croatians and other nations didn't want to be under Serbian agression and so we come to independence.
